Welcome Elektra!

Drag Beetle Naming
UBC Electric Car is finally starting our new electric drag car! The platform we’re using is… Another Beetle!! It’s a light rear wheel drive car with plenty of character and access to parts. The chassis is arriving on Friday so she needs a name. Any members are welcome to vote on the name of the new car. The survey link is can be found here
This is a photo of the car being delivered on this Friday!
